Redemption (2)

We ourselves groan, waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.
Romans 8:23

Redemption (2)
Redemption, as we considered it yesterday, refers to the believer's soul and is connected with the forgiveness of sins. Colossians 1, 14 stated: "We have redemption, the forgiveness of sins". It describes the present state of the Christian.

God's Word also speaks of redemption, however, in a future sense. Believers are now waiting for the redemption of their bodies. Here, too, it is a case of liberation. We are at present still subject to much weakness, limitation and trouble. But one day that will come to an end. Just as for the forgiveness of sins, the work of Jesus Christ also avails for this form of redemption.

Believers have been "sealed for the day of redemption" by the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 4, 30). When Jesus Christ returns to take Christians to be with Himself in glory, their bodies will also experience the redeeming power of God. On that glorious occasion the bodies of deceased believers will be snatched from death.

God's children are waiting for the Lord Jesus Christ to come from heaven as the Saviour. They long for Him and also for the transformation of their earthly, transient body. It will then be like the glorious body that He has in heaven. Believers will be like Him (cf. Philippians 3, 20, 21; 1 John 3, 2). Then redemption will be complete. There will be no more grief or suffering, but eternal joy.
